Alright, I just signed the contract to be represented by the APEL in Portugal. This organization is a huge step, not only into the EU market, but potentially internationally.

Things are moving so fast. My head is spinning, but my representative at Lavraria Lello has been extraordinary.

Remember, remember the 5th of November.

Showed my daughter this movie tonight. She loved it. We talked politics and compared it to what is happening in the world today.

Very good movie, even better graphic novel.

Well, how about them apples.

"Being Broken is more than a story of survival. It is an honest, heartbreaking and redemptive guide for those who are reclaiming their voice, rebuilding identity, and finding peace after tragedy and loss."

I shall go it alone then.

If anything the last few years of grief, rejection, abandonment, and neglect have taught me, it is this:

I am capable of anything I put my heart and mind into. That I am kind and gentle, intelligent and interesting.

That I am worthy, not just of love, but all the good...

It's over.
The love.
The respect.
The years of shared
Joy.
The laughter.
The family.
The years of shared
Togetherness.

What's also over.
The lies.
The disrespect.
The years of toxic
Control.
The gaslighting.
The demeaning.
The years of toxic
Diminishing.

My favourite Halloween album.

Mixing thrash and hardcore, these guys developed their own genre: splatter rock, or horrorcore. Starting in the mid-80s.

The character, Martha Splatterhead, is their recurring monster, back from the dead to take vengeance on criminals.

Always check those marketing emails for scams. This guy almost got me.

The first is from him, the 2nd from the business. Contacted through their website.

O.M.F.G. It's a snowball rolling down a hill.

Spoke with a legitimate media company today that wants to enter into a 'Shopping Agreement' to pitch my book to film & TV producers. I did all my scam checks and it really seems legit. No money upfront, real employees, etc.

Looking for a lawyer now!
